Dr. Luis Alvarez's
Melon Experiment:

Retrorecoil
in a melon hit by a high-velocity frangible bullet
fired from a rifle off the left side of the frames.
The forward jet stream to the right propelled the
melon backward to the left. No jet stream is seen
in the Zapruder film that even remotely resembles
the stream in Alvarez's experiment.
